The Historian is one of my all-time favorite books. I read it every fall, and without fail, Stoichev's cottage is such a lovely setting, makes me want to live there.

What I've learned from this post is that there are two kinds of readers: Those who love The Historian and those who haven't read it yet.

Exactly! I've recommended it so many times over the years.

I learned more about the Holmes trial here than I have from the news which tells you right away that I'm not following it much. The Uber book sounds great though because I too have learned about Silicon Valley from the show.:). I saw Silence of the Lambs and didn't sleep for three nights.

I'm borderline obsessed with Elizabeth Holmes and theranos.

I've also heard that Billion Dollar Loser about the We Work implosion is good read for fans of Bad Blood. I've requested it from my library.

I love those kinds of "nonfiction as thrillers" books! I have a bookshelf on Goodreads dedicated to them - just added Super Pumped! https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/84856383-hannah?shelf=expos%C3%A9s-and-scams
